PANDAS/PANS

At Bock Integrative Medicine, we approach PANS/PANDAS the way we approach all complex medical problems. We begin with a comprehensive assessment of the individual’s physiological function, emphasizing those areas that can contribute to immune imbalance.

We of course offer the conventional therapies of antibiotics and IVIG, but just as importantly, we address the deficiencies, toxicities, sensitivities, and other imbalances that drive the auto-immune response and prolong the course of this illness. This effort employs all the tools of integrative medicine including:

Dietary and environmental modifications

Nutritional and herbal supplements

Detoxification modalities

Attention to psychosocial issues

It is this multifaceted approach that seems to offer the best chance for success.

Detoxification requires a good deal of energy. Unfortunately, the accumulation of toxins can damage the mitochondria that provide that energy for our cells, and this can initiate a downward cycle, so many individuals need assistance to support detoxification.

We at Bock Integrative Medicine make a considerable effort to detect and eliminate triggers in individuals with autoimmune conditions. One of the growing problems we are seeing is the role of microorganisms that serve as triggers of autoimmunity.
